Game Recap

Charlotte's two-point road victory marked a reversal in the season series: the Hornets won 109–93 when these teams met in late February, and they delivered again in Portland, escaping with a 103–101 result that landed well below the market. The total opened at 229.5 and drifted to 227.5 before tip, yet both squads mustered just 204 combined points—a full 25.5-point shortfall from the closing number that gave DAGGER's under call an easy cash.

The game's arc tilted defensive in the first half, which produced just 101 combined points across two quarters. Q1 saw 54 combined; Q2 fell to 47, creating a slugfest that appeared poised for low-scoring basketball. The third quarter upended that script entirely—59 combined points poured in, the game's high-water mark—before a fourth-quarter bottleneck (44 combined) sealed the under's fate.

Brandon Miller led Charlotte with 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Kon Knueppel chipped in 15 and LaMelo Ball added 14 with 4 assists. For Portland, Jerami Grant scored 24 points and Deni Avdija notched 22 with 7 assists. Despite Charlotte's recent form showing 117.0 points per game over its last ten, both offenses stalled in a tight affair that turned on margins in the final seconds—a far cry from the 229.5-point projection that had framed this matchup heading in.
